    @rbolante Sir, I already bought some aud from czarina money changer, they have 2 outlets in alabang town center (sila yung naholdap recently hehe). Mas mataas ang rate ng palit nila compared to Sanrys and you can make reservations in case kulang ang stock nila ng aud for the day.

    @icebreaker1928 would you know kung magkano yung transaction charge ng BDO kung magpapalit ka pera sa kanila?
    parang wala namang charge... kasi sa buying nun kumita na sila sa pinapalit mo...
    mababa lang sila bumili pero mahal sila magbenta, dun sila nakita...

    Sa panahon ngayon, tama bang mas advisable pa rin bumili ng AUD dito sa pinas
    kesa sa USD dahil mas mahal ngayon ang USD?

    Kung bibili ka ng USD, ipapa-exchange mo pa rin yan to AUD... Everytime you do an FX (PHP to USD and then USD to AUD), you are incurring a fee for this.

    I would not do that ... if you do .. check the fees for every withdrawal or transaction

    You can always buy AUD on your local bank im sure meron sila ...

    We bought our AUD from BPI

    Agree with this ... if you change PHP to USD it will incur ( fees + Forex ) then USD to AUD it will incur ( fees + Forex )

    parang ang mahal ata ng selling price ng BPI at Php 41.27.
    pero kung safety and security ang iisipin, okay na din at least wala na iworry na fake ang makukuha mong AUD.

    pero you may still check with reputable Money Changers like Sanrys or Czarina :)

    @peach17, nacheck ko ang rate ng Sanrys at Czarina, mas mura nga ang benta nila ng AUD kaysa sa BPI. 40.36 vs 41.27 as of today. malaking tipid din lalo na kung marami rami ang ipapapalit mo. mukhang katiwa tiwala naman sila kasi marami dito sa pinoyau dun nagpapapalit.

    tama ba ako: yung Sanrys nasa Unimart, tapos yung Czarina nasa Shoppesville. taga San Juan lang ako at araw-araw akong dumadaan sa Greenhills pero di ko napapansin ang stalls ng mga to. one time daan ako. may limit kaya sila kung magkano ang puedeng ipa-palit?

    Hi @Sungsung, yes may nga branches sila around Manila.
    Sa Makati sa Tower One yung main branch I think ng Czarina. Nagpunta ako last Monday nasa 40.37 ang rate nila. Pwede din tumawag daw muna para magpareserve. Pero dun ka na nga sa may Greenhills since malapit ka dun. Less hassle and less worry pa :) Ingat ingat lang tayo sis:)

    @peach17 ,

    bro ako. hahahaha! nagemail ako sa Czarina wala naman palang limit kaso sabi mo nga para makasigurado, magpareserve na. ang balak ko by batch ko ipapalit, halimbawa sa isang palitan 50k or 100k lang, para kung sakaling matiktikan man ako at maholdap, di nila malilimas ang lahat ng naipon ko. lol

    sarap magpapalit sa Czarina ngayon, 39.28 ang selling nila ng AUD. usually ba kapag papasok ang ber months nagmumura o nagmamahal? o depende pa rin sa takbo ng economiya?

    @peach17 ,

    bro ako. hahahaha! nagemail ako sa Czarina wala naman palang limit kaso sabi mo nga para makasigurado, magpareserve na. ang balak ko by batch ko ipapalit, halimbawa sa isang palitan 50k or 100k lang, para kung sakaling matiktikan man ako at maholdap, di nila malilimas ang lahat ng naipon ko. lol

    sarap magpapalit sa Czarina ngayon, 39.28 ang selling nila ng AUD. usually ba kapag papasok ang ber months nagmumura o nagmamahal? o depende pa rin sa takbo ng economiya?
    AUD is falling versus the USD these past few weeks... Hence nagiging mas mura ang AUD.
